Chapter 1234: The Advantage Is Ours

Yi Qi had no intention of retreating just like that; last time he suffered from incorrect intelligence, which led to Bei Zun's utter defeat.

This time Yi Qi will not make the same mistake again.

Moreover, this time the Demon Emperor personally leads the army, so Yi Qi dares not leave any loophole.

Therefore, although facing the encirclement and interception by the strong of all races in Haotu Shijie, Yi Qi still ordered continued intelligence gathering.

The Demon Race showed no intention of retreating; even in just a few days, they had already lost tens of thousands of Demon warriors.

Qi Xiong and his men had just captured a batch of Demon Race food material, and Yunluo Shèngzhǔ frowned slightly and said.

"The Demon Race still won't leave?"

"They probably want to confirm the truth of the intelligence, after all, one can't be tripped up twice in the same place."

"What should we do then?"

"What else can we do? Just continue."

As for Yi Qi's idea, Qi Xiong had already guessed it; it doesn't matter, let the Demon Race investigate if they want to.

As long as the Dongfang Family's affair isn't exposed, it's fine; let them investigate whatever they like.

Continue according to the original plan, without holding back in the slightest.

If we deliberately showed mercy now, it would obviously reveal a flaw; thus, the various races not only had no intention of holding back, but instead tightened their encirclement of the Demon Race.

This also caused heavy casualties among the Demon warriors under Yi Qi's command.

The dead are dead, the captured are captured.

Even under such tremendous pressure, Yi Qi stubbornly chose to continue reconnaissance.

This fellow really did gather a lot of the desired information and has already made contact with those Demonic Cultivators in Haotu Shijie.

For these Demonic Cultivators, they naturally could not miss this good opportunity to contact the Demon Race.

This is the existence they revere as the primary race.

Gaining the Demon Race's approval is undoubtedly the greatest wish of these Demonic Cultivators.

With the help of these Demonic Cultivators, Yi Qi's intelligence gathering became much more smooth and effective.

After staying in Haotu Shijie for over half a month straight, on this day, facing the heavy losses of his subordinates, Yi Qi finally issued the retreat order.

However, by this time the Demon warriors Yi Qi brought numbered less than five thousand.

The remaining Demon Race members were either killed or captured; even four Demon Gods were seized.

The losses were certainly not minor, yet Yi Qi showed little reaction.

To ensure the intelligence's authenticity and to avoid being tricked by the Human Race again, Yi Qi considered this loss necessary.

As Yi Qi issued the retreat order, his subordinate Demon warriors likewise flocked toward the Demon Cave.

However, during the retreat, Yi Qi's subordinate Demon warriors encountered several encirclements by the strong of various races.

Especially when entering the Demon Cave, the surroundings naturally had experts of all races stationed there.

After a fierce battle, the number of Demon Race members who followed Yi Qi back to the Demon Realm had dwindled to less than a thousand.

Tens of thousands entered Haotu Shijie, but in the end only hundreds returned.

Watching Yi Qi flee in panic into the Demon Cave, Yun Xiantai and the others curled their lips, seeming not to have aroused suspicion.

"Demon Emperor food material—this is the first time we've come into contact with it."

Yun Xiantai said with an expectant look, not knowing how strong the Demon Race's Demon Emperor is.

After Yi Qi successfully escaped back to the Demon Realm, the various races quickly began to set up the battlefield.

Although there is no fear of the Demon Race, one must not be careless.

Haotu Shijie side had already begun preparations; on the other side, Yi Qi, who had successfully escaped back to the Demon Realm, immediately went to see Bosun and truthfully reported all the intelligence he had gathered in Haotu Shijie.

While Yi Qi led people into Haotu Shijie, Bosun's subordinate Demon God Kings also began preparations at the same time.

Numerous Demon warriors continually gathered at Yi Qi's territory; at this moment, the five Demon Caves all assembled many Demon warriors.

The information Yi Qi brought back was largely correct.

This time he was not misled, and he seems to have a sufficiently clear understanding of the situation in Haotu Shijie.

However, on the most critical issue, Yi Qi made a fatal mistake.

"The situation in Haotu Shijie is just as such, but they have no one capable of opposing the Demon Emperor's existence, no Emperor Sovereign Realm expert."

Haotu Shijie has no Emperor Sovereign Realm expert; this is something Yi Qi has repeatedly confirmed.

Not only those Demonic Cultivators said so, but even the cultivators of all races in Haotu Shijie that Yi Qi personally captured and arrested said the same.

Including Yi Qi's use of means to forcibly extract their memories, which also contained no memory of the Emperor Sovereign Realm.

Thus, Yi Qi became absolutely certain that there is no Emperor Sovereign Realm expert within Haotu Shijie.

And lacking an Emperor Sovereign Realm, it shows Haotu Shijie cannot cope with the Demon Emperor.

And an unconstrained Demon Emperor's impact on the war situation can be easily imagined.

Therefore, when informing Bosun of Haotu Shijie's situation, Yi Qi's face was full of confidence.

Even if the Demon Race had already suffered two consecutive defeats in Haotu Shijie, what does it matter?

What Haotu Shijie defeated were merely these Demon God Kings; being unable to cope with the Demon Emperor remains Haotu Shijie's fatal weakness.

As long as Haotu Shijie sees no Emperor Sovereign Realm expert appear for a day, Haotu Shijie cannot be their opponent.

And Bosun obviously won't give Haotu Shijie any time.

Upon hearing Yi Qi's words, Bosun rarely nodded and gave a word of praise.

"Well done."

"This is what subordinates ought to do."

"I heard you suffered heavy losses this time?"

Bosun asked this rare caring question; Yi Qi's tens of thousands of Demon warriors under him returned only hundreds, and Bosun had long heard of this.

Such a loss was indeed unexpected; hearing this, Yi Qi did not hide anything, nodded, and simply recounted the events.

He also explained that he made this choice solely to guarantee the truthfulness of the information.

He would not repeat Bei Zun's mistake of being misled by false information from the Human Race, which had led to a devastating defeat.

Facing Yi Qi's explanation, Bo Xun nodded, indicating his agreement.

You did well; although the loss was indeed great, ensuring the authenticity of the information is most important.

For the upcoming attack on Haotu Shijie, you need not participate; let the returning demon warriors rest, and after the battle I will personally award merits and rewards.

Thank you, Demon Emperor.

Yi Qi has been completely crippled; given his current condition, even participating in the assault on Haotu Shijie would be pointless, so it's better to let him stay in the Demon Realm to rest.

After Yi Qi left, Bo Xun's last worry vanished; a cold glint flashed in his eyes, the corner of his mouth curled into a cold smile, and he said coldly.

Without the Emperor Sovereign Realm, Haotu Shijie has a fatal weakness; based on this alone, Bo Xun is full of confidence in the outcome of this battle.

Without Emperor Sovereign Realm is Haotu Shijie's weak point; just based on this, Boxun is already full of confidence about the outcome of this battle.
